{{examples}}
 
== Anime and Manga ==
* In the ''[[Ginga Densetsu Weed]]'' anime, every dog is drawn this way, despite the fact one character is known for [[Groin Attack|biting the testicles off]] of his enemies. This is sometimes averted in the manga though, as some panels clearly show genitals and anuses.
Line 26 ⟶ 25:
* Averted in ''[[Bone]]'' with Roque Ja the mountain lion, who when seen from behind has a very prominent scrotum.
 
== Animated Film ==
* [[Averted Trope]] by volumes in ''[[Pom Poko]]'', where the testicles of the tanuki are very prominent, both art- and plotwise—though this is more due to the fact that tanuki having a very large scrotum is an aspect of Japanese folklore than any bizarre decision on part of the director.
* Averted in the movie versions of ''[[The Plague Dogs]]'' The dogs as well as most other animals are drawn anatomically correct.
Line 35 ⟶ 34:
* [[Zig Zagged]] in [[Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron]], where the titular horse sports a visible sheath in many shots, although played straigh with all the other horses.
* Averted in ''[[The Triplets of Belleville]]''. Bruno is anatomically correct.
 
== Live Action Film ==
* In the 1933 and 1976 versions of ''[[King Kong]]'', Kong had no nipples.
* [[Lassie]] is a female dog (note the root of the name is '''Lass''' not '''Lad''') played by males with their belly hair coiffed very carefully to cover up the naughty bits.
Line 49 ⟶ 46:
 
== Literature ==
* This trope is invoked in-character in ''[[Discworld/Thief of Time|Thief of Time]]'', when Susan takes a paper tube away from Jason and informs the boy that, no, the cardboard animal which the class is constructing is a ''polite'' horse.
** Possibly a reference to a 19th -century joke campaign to clothe animals: "A nude horse is a rude horse." was their slogan.
* Very explicitly averted in ''[[Neuropath]]'' when Tom's dog rolls over and exposes his genitals. Agent Gerard find it hilarious and says it's so big it should get its own website. Then makes up some domain names. ("www.dog-got-a-bone.com")
 
Line 58 ⟶ 55:
== [[Newspaper Comics]] ==
* [[Zig Zagged]] in ''[[Footrot Flats]]''. The trope applies to most of the animal characters, except for Cecil the sheep, who has [[Truth in Television|very prominent testicles]]. Jess the dog and Dolores the sow also have mammaries when nursing.
 
== Other ==
* The mammary side of this trope is interestingly averted with the animatronic goats on the ''[[Pirates of the Caribbean]]'' ride at [[Disney Theme Parks|Disneyland Park at the Disneyland Resort]]; this is a very rare case of goats being designed with udders.
* Bryer model horses, off the shelf anyway. The lack of genitals is the first thing that hobbyists customizing their models address.
* Small pet rodents in films or television are virtually always played by females, even if the animal is male in-story. This is because male hamsters, rats, and mice have ''very'' large testes that would be virtually impossible to hide.
 
== Video Games ==
Line 77 ⟶ 69:
* While generally played straight in ''[[Samurai Jack]]'', one scene in the final episode required Jack to find milk for a lost baby boy, leading to a few depictions of female animals with visible udders, although his attempts to milk the wild animals were not entirely successful.
* [[Zig Zagged]] with the miniature horses in one episode of ''[[The Oblongs]]''. The horses lack genitals, but they have anuses that look like the letter "x."
 
== Other Media ==
* The mammary side of this trope is interestingly averted with the animatronic goats on the ''[[Pirates of the Caribbean]]'' ride at [[Disney Theme Parks|Disneyland Park at the Disneyland Resort]]; this is a very rare case of goats being designed with udders.
* Bryer model horses, off the shelf anyway. The lack of genitals is the first thing that hobbyists customizing their models address.
